UVa-Wise to offer variety of interesting courses during first summer session

Summer Session I begins May 31 at The University of Virginia’s College at Wise and will feature a variety of courses that will pique students’ interest and also meet general education and major requirements.

Courses offered include Mike O’Donnell’s “Irish Studies I,” a course that satisfies students’ general education requirement in the humanities. The course traces Irish history from its earliest times to the present.

“Introduction to Criminal Justice,” an administration of justice course taught by Yenli Yeh, emphasizes the history of justice and ethics and the philosophy of the criminal justice system. The course also fulfills a core requirement for administration of justice majors. “Information Systems Security,” a business class, and “Psychology of Addiction” and “Psychology of Love,” both psychology classes, are a few of the numerous course offerings.

UVa-Wise will also offer several courses for students seeking to fulfill a few general education requirements during the summer. These courses include “English Composition,” “Beginning French,” “Beginning Spanish,” “Principles of Biology” and “Principles of Chemistry.” The biology and chemistry courses have related lab components.

Summer Session I classes begin May 31 and continue through July 1. In addition, Summer Session II will begin July 6 and continue through Aug. 8. Students who are not currently enrolled at UVa-Wise may apply for admission to a summer session by completing a non-degree student application and submitting it to the Office of Admissions.
